Back from the vet

[kribu]

Vet visit this morning went fine - although Musti was going quite mad in her hunt for water earlier, which we hid away from her - no problems with anaesthesia, it seems. She just woke up some 20 minutes ago, very confused and wobbly, but managed to find water, drink a bit and then get back to her bed, so she seems okay. Poor thing has a half-shaved paw now; I managed to get most of the bandage off at least.

And the vet just called with the results - Musti has diabetes, yes. Extremely high blood sugar levels. I suppose this explains the rest of the problems being so persistent, too. Anyway, we're to go back sans Musti on Monday and get pills, which she'll have to take for the rest of her life. I just hope this means she'll be feeling better once she'll get started on the treatment.

Best get on with cleaning, now - we'll hopefully get an electrician come over later today to take a look at the situation. It's been getting beyond ridiculous and rather more worrying, lately, to have fuses blown for half the flat a couple of times a week, mostly when turning on the light somewhere. And we're going through lightbulbs at an enormous rate, too - when we're lucky, it's only the bulb that explodes, without taking the rest of the power with it.

I am so glad that you finally know what is causing Musti's problems. Hopefully the meds will help lots, and she will be back to her old self once again!

Did the vet suggest any special diet for her?

The blowing fuses is a scary situation! I'm a complete wash with anything to do with stuff like that. If I tried to track dow the offending "short" I'd probably end up with fried fingers at best and dead on the floor at worst. I believe in electricians and bow to their expertise in all things bright and light.

Well, I'm glad that it's something that is treatable. Hopefully Musti will get along well with the medication and be back to her old self soon. :-)

Oh, and good luck with the electrical. We're having a heating system installed today. Yippee for home repair! *sigh*

Poor Musti! But I am glad it is something treatable, at least.

I'm so glad she's doing well, even with the prognosis. Hopefully, now that you know it's diabetes, it's treatable? Bug hugs for both of you.

Oh, glad you know what's going on, at least. Diabetes isn't fun, but it's hopefully well treatable at least, though poor Musti will have certainly had a lot on her plate between the earlier antibiotic adventures, the anaesthetic and now these pills.

Cleaning, bah. Why can't it be one of those civilised things that takes care of itself?

I'm glad to hear it's at least treatable. Poor Musti. She's probably not going to be crazy about those pills. Hopefully that'll make the difference.

And eek on the electricity! That's scary. Hope that's able to be fixed.
